Need Immediate Transfer for Family Medical Issue: How Can I Convince My Boss?

rickbed
I am an employee of a Multinational Company, on-role employee, in the Sales Department. I joined in May 2017. Due to a family medical issue, I need an immediate transfer to my hometown. However, my boss is not helping me or allowing me. The company policy states that transfers are allowed after one year of joining in desired areas. But I require a transfer immediately. Please suggest what I should do.

Viewed from your own statement, your company seems to have a flexible transfer policy. So far, you've served in the present place for about 9 months and just 3 months ahead for a request transfer in tune with the company's policy. Either you have to wait or try to convince your immediate boss so that he endorses your application. Considering the time likely to be taken in the process, I think that you can wait for three months and then ask for a transfer.

There is no realistic advice that can be given in such cases. Put up a compassionate appeal to your boss. Probably you can approach someone above your boss. Such a step is fraught with a lot of danger. How your company will take overstepping is one big issue. Think and take action.
